The trailer portion of a tractor-tractor overturned on the southbound Interstate 81 entry ramp at Timber Ridge about 2 p.m. on Monday, scattering recycled scrap metal products onto the roadway and adjoining grassy area. While there were no injuries or environmental hazards, cleanup from the incident lasted about five hours, said Nathan Ramsey, Rockbridge County chief of fire and EMS. Luckily, he said, the accident was confined to the ramp, allowing both Interstate 81 and U.S. 11 traffic to flow freely without significant traffic delays. (Mary Woodson photo)
